And the blues fell mama's child, tore me all upside down
Worried blues, give me your right hand
Well, the blues, is a achin' old heart disease
You ain't never had 'em I, hope you never will
Is a low-down shakin' chill
Like consumption, killing me by degrees
Do it now, you gon' do it? Tell me all about it
The blues, is a low-down shakin' chill, yes, preach 'em now
Blues fell mama's child, and it tore me all upside down
The blues, is a low-down achin' heart disease
Travel on, poor Bob, just can't turn you 'round
I can study rain, oh oh drive, oh oh drive my blues
I been studyin' the rain, I'm 'on drive my blues away
